Proponents say orbital research and spin offs justify the expense and momentum for a future Mars mission amid Soviet activity. The piece cautions against Congress shortsightedness and defense of space exploration as essential to American progress.

Rainmaker of Jerusalem proves rainmaking possible in Israel
Israeli scientists led by Prof. Abraham Gagin seed winter clouds with silver iodide from 1961 to 1967 and 1969 to 1975. By targeting rain east of the Carmel and over the Sea of Galilee catchment they boosted inland rainfall by about 15 percent and replenished the national reservoir. The method saves irrigation water and adds farm sector value while drawing interest from three African nations.
